Philadelphia is certainly lacking in one area of athletics—women's sports. Watch Party PHL is here to change that.

Together we can build Philly's FIRST women's sports bar, and lay the groundwork for the team, the fandom, and the future.

Watch Party Philly is raising money as a first step toward giving its city-wide gatherings a permanent home, called Watch Bar Philly.

WatchPartyPHL founder and firefighter Jen Leary has hosted dozens of watch parties for women's sports events in the last year.

Watch Party PHL, a community for women's sports fans, launched a GoFundMe to raise $50,000 to get the project started.

Ora’s Watch Bar is asking for donations, as it gears up to open in summer 2026.

Notable WNBA fans, such as Wanda Sykes and her partner Alexandra Niedbalski, have been lobbying for a Philadelphia team for a long time.
